Practical Use For Medical Professional Offices

The point of building an e-mail list, having a social following, or running a pay-per-click (PPC) campaign is to inform, remind, or attract current and prospective patients about your services.

Maybe you want to attract and remind those in your local area to spend the rest of their HSA, HRA, or FSA before the end of the year. Another effective use of these types of campaigns is to inform patients and clients of special promotions your office is running, such as a teeth whitening or botox treatment discounts. A final example is to build community awareness and recognition, by promoting your office’s sponsorship of a local 5k or sports team.

Email Marketing

Email marketing campaigns increase retention. Your office should be sending out monthly or quarterly emails to your current patients to remind them of:

Preventative care reminders

Promotions, seasonal newsletters

New services, staff, and updates

Email marketing can be automated for efficiency and even segmented to make sure your conversion rates reach new heights for referrals, new appointments, and retention!

Social Media Marketing

Social Media Marketing (SMM) works best for building a following and promoting services or specials to NEW patients. The most attractive aspects of SMM are the hyper-focused targeting criteria and cost.

Social Media Marketing for medical professionals is most effective using Instagram and Facebook to drive local traffic to your office.
